Grumpy Cat Steals the Show at the MTV Movie Awards

Just kidding. It was as magical as any red carpet debut by an adorable animal could possibly be. Grumpy Cat, real name Tardar Sauce, showed up in a custom-made, Pharrell-inspired hat.

Grumpy Cat even caught the attention of host Conan O'Brien, who quipped, "Why does Grumpy Cat have a better seat than Nick Lachey?" I don't know, Conan: probably because Grumpy Cat's been more culturally relevant within the past few years. Tardar Sauce responded with enthusiasm:

But it's just another day's work in the life of the Internet's most beloved pet. At the tender age of two, she's been voted "most influential cat" by MSNBC, made appearances at SXSW, and even scored the cover of New York magazine. (Plus, let's not forget that Grumpy Cat made her cinematic debut in the award-winning movie Lil Bub & Friendz, where she co-starred along with fellow feline Internet sensations Lil Bub, Nyan Cat, and Keyboard Cat.) So this MTV Movie Awards thing? No big deal.
